About Wilbur
If you’re looking for a super sweet, affectionate and playful addition to the family then look no further than Wilbur! The best way to describe Wilbur is a massive love bug who enjoys nothing more than morning (afternoon and evening) cuddles with his hoomans! Wilbur is a “peoples pooch” and is always very happy to meet new friends both at home and on walks.
Wilbur is all about cuddles and loves showing affection to his foster folks which takes various forms including commando rolling between them for cuddles in bed and placing his paw on your lap to mean “pat me!”
Wilbur’s ideal home is one where there are people around more often than not or where he will have a medium to large female canine for companionship.
Wilbur’s foster family are going to miss his sweet and affectionate nature and will have a large Wilbur shaped dent left in their bed!
Summary:
- WFH or part time workers (somewhere with people home more often than not) OR somewhere with a medium to large female dog for companionship
- Must have backyard / courtyard
- NOT cat friendly or tested with small dogs
- NO children under 10 years of age
Adoption details
STEP 1 – ENQUIRE & EOI FORM:
Click 'Enquire about this pet' to contact us or email us at adoptions@greytgreys.org to express interest in the hound that you are looking at. We'll send you an EOI form, this must be returned before proceeding.
If the greyhound you have applied for is unavailable or unsuitable, we can match you with a more suitable greyhound. We may have a hound in foster care who might be well suited to your family.
STEP 2 – LET'S CHAT:
We'll phone you to discuss suitability, clarify any points of your application and chat process and next steps.
STEP 3 – HOUSE CHECK & MEET + GREET:
We'll come to you! The meet + greet is conducted at the same time that a house check is carried out. The meet + greet is the day that your newly adopted greyhound will be able to stay on with you.
Our adoption fee is $350.00 and must be paid on on the day of the meet + greet, and prior to starting your 3 week trial. Support from our team is freely available. If you have any issues, we urge you to contact us to try and work through them, as all rescue greyhounds have some period of adjustment.
If after the 3 week trial, you feel that you need to return the greyhound, we will refund your adoption fee (less a $50 administration fee), upon return of the dog and all paperwork and other items that the dog was adopted with.
All of our hounds are adopted out with the following:
> Collar, lead & coat
> Certificate of sterilisation & vaccination
> Flea & worm treated
> Care information for your newly adopted greyhound
> Access to our private Facebook page for foster carers, volunteers and adopters of our hounds. A community with invaluable advice and support.
